This Temporary Contract template is designed for New Zealand employers requiring a fixed-term employment arrangement. It should be used when there is a genuine reason for the fixed-term nature of the employment, such as seasonal work, project-based assignments, or coverage for parental leave. The document complies with the Employment Relations Act 2000 and other relevant New Zealand employment legislation, including mandatory provisions for fixed-term agreements. It contains all essential elements required by NZ law, including explicit statements about the reason for the fixed term, duration, and conditions of employment. This template is particularly useful for businesses experiencing temporary increases in workload, specific project requirements, or seasonal fluctuations in their workforce needs.
